I am now revising my review after using this kit for a month.
It is awful. I mean it is a complete waste of money.
The spring-assists are "rated" for 2000 pounds. I know for a FACT I have not come close to that, in fact I know exactly how much weight I've put in my bed: 920 pounds. Thats from 100 gallons of water plus the tank that holds it.
At first I was like "wow this is GREAT my bed barely shifts".
At 5 runs of water I was like "yep...still working pretty good"
At 10 runs I was like "Hrmm....it's a bit more bouncy"
Now at around 15 runs...it's as if I never installed it at all.
Money and time was completely wasted, cannot reccomend against this product enough, especially since it damaged the frame as it has on other people. The braces WILL impact the frame and cut into it because they left these long pieces of metal at the end that get hit when springs come anywhere near compressing.
Do NOT get this.
U- bolts and nuts are not the best. Some minor grinding on the drivers side rear of spring (corner) because it hits the frame. Now I need the lift the front. Darn😃
Understand before hand you need to purchase a 7/16-20 thread die to chase the thread first, also purchase 8 more 7/16 - 20 nuts too double nut with.
Remember just because it doesnt squat as much under load doesnt mean you can carry a ton of extra weight.
